Tasting notes
The 2023 La Vieille Cure has a perfumed and comparatively floral bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and peony scents, well-defined with well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. Gentle grip, fine tension with a sapid finish, this is a solid, well-made Fronsac that should mature well in bottle.

A year-in, year-out smoking good wine as well as a perennial value, the 2023 Château La Vieille Cure is deep purple and reveals a great nose of black and blue fruits, spicy oak, graphite, and a touch of earth. It brings medium to full-bodied richness on the palate, with ripe, polished, yet building tannins and a great finish. Clearly destined to be an outstanding wine, I suspect it will need 2-3 years of bottle age.
